Hi folks, I had dinner plans tonight and was going to make the family ribs. However, had to take the day off to work on some things , And wondering can I make ribs ahead of time, and maybe heat them up in the grill or something a few hours later? Wondering if there any techniques to not ruin it if I do that?

short answer is yes. If you do the Johnny Trigg competition method. 3-2-1. 3-hours smoke/cook, 2- hours foiled and seasoned with parkay, brown sugar, honey and tiger sauce, last 1- hour cook uncovered and sauce towards last ten minutes. I have held off on the last part for several hours to overnight. Better if you don't wait , but totally acceptable if you must wait. also that last hour time can vary based on many factors.

Yes. I suggest, if you already haven't, gleaning information from here:
AR ribs article
AR faux cambro article
If you don't want to do the cambro, then like FireMan suggests, oven on low heat.

You might be a little long on time there. 5 hours is a little long to hold the ribs, without them getting mushy.
Personally, I would cook them, then shock and reheat in a 350 F oven, then serve. Check out this article on the "Big Chill" the article is for Sous Vide, but you can shock just the same.

Smoker: PBC
Grill: A 20-year-old Webber 22.5" Kettle with a Slow and Sear
Thermometers: A Maverick ET732, A Thermapen, a few miscellaneous thermometers
Misc: I just seem to keep buying things.
Due to an unforeseen issue I had to hold ribs in a cooler for about 5 hours (I had planned on cooking about three hours ahead). I had double wrapped in heavy foil and put a towel over them and put in a good cooler. They were still hot when I took them out and the bark was fine. I hadn’t glazed them because of how long I was going to hold them.
